Chapter 203 Crisis
Li Yu's knowledge of Piaomiao Xianzong was limited to the few words Wu Tong said.
That was a super sect in the world of immortal cultivation two eras ago, and it was the only super sect.
Today, the Tiandao Sect is considered the only overlord in the world of immortal cultivation. With its absolute strength, it crushes all other sects and forces.
But compared with the Piaomiao Xianzong of that era, the Tiandao Sect is still not worth mentioning.
The Piaomiao Immortal Sect two epochs ago was roughly equivalent to the present-day Tiandao Sect plus the righteous and evil paths, the Buddhist demon clan, the Central Dynasty and all other forces in the current immortal cultivation world combined. This was only the sphere of influence. In terms of strength, any top powerhouse in the Piaomiao Immortal Sect could destroy the current immortal cultivation world countless times.
After all, in that era, Poxu was not even considered a top-level powerhouse, and there were even people who reached a realm above the heavens.
Li Yu never imagined that this was the former site of Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
The magnificent palace behind him is the Piaomiao Immortal Sect's Hall of Classics.
Those books that turned to ashes were all various secret books from the previous era, involving cultivation methods, alchemy, talismans, refining, formations, etc., completely covering all the ways of cultivating immortals.
Although all the books were destroyed, all the backup information was still saved in those jade slips.
Li Yu didn’t have time to look at those things in detail for the time being. He had just obtained detailed information about this secret place from a jade slip.
At this moment, a complete map has emerged in his mind.
The Piaomiao Immortal Sect is very large, with an area more than ten times that of the Kunlun Cave Heaven. The Classics Hall where Li Yu is located is located in the center of this cave heaven.
In addition to this place similar to the Sutra Repository, Piaomiao Xianzong also has some important places, which may contain treasures that have been preserved to this day.
He hid his body and passed out from the formation.
Outside the formation, several people from the Central Dynasty gathered here, still trying to attack the formation. Li Yu ignored them and quickly disappeared in the spiritual mist.
A quarter of an hour later, at the top of a mountain, Li Yu passed through several formations and walked into a hall shaped like a furnace.
This place is called Danding Pavilion, and it was where the Piaomiao Immortal Sect stored elixirs tens of thousands of years ago.
Looking at the shape of this hall, Li Yu always felt that it was somewhat similar to the Qiankun Furnace.
But the alchemy furnaces basically look the same, but if you look closely, you will find that there are many differences in the details.
Soon, Li Yu walked out of the hall with a look of regret on his face.
The elixirs from the previous era, if properly preserved, could still retain most of their medicinal effects. However, spanning two eras, even the formations and restrictions on the elixir bottles had become ineffective, and the elixirs inside had probably long since become waste.
When Li Yu walked in here, all the pills here, including the pill bottles, were completely turned into ashes. Not even a single pill was left, which made Li Yu feel distressed.
The only consolation is that Li Yu obtained the alchemy inheritance of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect in the Classics Hall.
There are countless lost ancient elixir recipes there. As long as he has the materials, Li Yu can refine them again and make those elixirs reappear in the world of immortal cultivation.
After walking out of Danding Pavilion, Li Yu felt even more confused.
If the Piaomiao Immortal Sect moved to a world more suitable for cultivation, there seems to be no reason to leave these elixirs here. Under normal circumstances, wouldn't they take the elixirs and magical instruments with them?
Everything here gave Li Yu the feeling that it was a normally functioning sect, except that there was no one in this sect.
Those disciples of Piaomiao Xianzong seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
With this doubt in mind, Li Yu came to the Star Pavilion located on another mountain.
This is where Piaomiao Xianzong stores their magic weapons.
The appearance of the Star Pavilion is not an ordinary palace, but more like a large spirit boat, or more like a giant ship. Li Yu walked into the giant ship. As expected, although there were as many as tens of thousands of magic weapons here, Li Yu's arrival seemed to have reopened time. He could only watch these magic weapons from the strongest era turn into ashes one by one in front of him.
In the thick dust, the only few things left stand out.
Li Yu waved his hand, and nine objects flew out from the dust and hovered in the air.
Five of them are flying swords that are more than three feet long and come in five different colors.
The other four items are a silver mirror, a golden armor, a landscape painting scroll, and a square seal with a dragon head.
These magic weapons are obviously unique as they have been able to survive tens of thousands of years without decaying.
Li Yu was stunned. That silver mirror looked very familiar to him.
Li Yu took out the imitation magic weapon of Xuantian Realm confiscated from the elder of Demon Flame Sect, and after comparing it with the mirror, he found that the two were exactly the same in appearance.
He held the mirror in his hand and inputted magic power into it. A blinding white light shot out, creating a gap in the formation outside the hall.
Li Yu withdrew his magic power, the white light disappeared, and the hole in the formation slowly healed.
The usage of this mirror is the same as that of the Xuantian Mirror. In terms of power, it is even more powerful than the imitation that Li Yu confiscated. The previous imitation could only withstand the mana of the Foundation Establishment period at most, while the one in Li Yu's hand can even accommodate the mana of the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core.
The five major artifacts in the current world of immortal cultivation are the Xuantian Mirror of the Tiandao Sect, the Zhantian Armor of Kunlun, the Shanhetu of Emei, the Zhutian Sword Formation of Shushan, and the Zhentian Seal of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wu Tong once said that these artifacts might have been inherited from the Piaomiao Immortal Sect by an ancient sect in the previous era.
The scene that Li Yu saw undoubtedly verified the rumor.
The Xuantian Mirror is already there, and the other items should be the Zhantian Armor, the Mountain and River Map, the Zhentian Seal, and the Zhutian Sword Formation.
These magic weapons should not be immortal weapons.
Although this mirror has a great effect on increasing magic power, it is not as exaggerated as the legendary immortal weapon. It is very likely a replica of the immortal weapon. However, even if it is a replica, this is a high-quality imitation.
Even after tens of thousands of years, its power remains undiminished.
Li Yu put these things away first, and then went to several other important places, but he didn't gain anything. Those talismans, formation flags, and mechanical puppets could not withstand the passage of time and all decayed.
These imitations of immortal artifacts should be made of some special materials.
I’m afraid those jade slips are not ordinary jade slips.
If Piaomiao Immortal Sect had appeared in the world ten thousand years earlier, no matter which sect obtained it, they would have become the sole overlord of the world. Unfortunately, it appeared too late, and even the secret realm itself declined to the point where it could only accommodate Jindan-stage cultivators. Countless treasures were wasted.
According to the information in the jade slip, after coming out of the last formation, Li Yu no longer had any treasures to find.
He planned to find the exit of this secret place.
A quarter of an hour later, on the hillside of a mountain, Li Yu looked at a corpse at his feet with a hint of surprise on his face.
Many Jindan stage people died here, but disciples of Tiandao Sect were rare.
Those who enter this place from the Tiandao Sect must have at least reached the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm. In addition, their equipment is much better than that of the disciples from other sects. Even if it is a sneak attack, few people can kill them.
Li Yu knew the Tiandao Sect disciple who died here.
This person was also one of the Tiandao Sect's geniuses who participated in the Demonic Ceremony in the Xuanyin Sect. His name was Ma Yuan. Not only did he have a five-spiritual golden elixir, but one of his spiritual veins had also reached the peak of the ninth turn.
This person's strength ranks among the top ten among all those who enter this secret realm.
Even those as strong as Ouyang Long, Qin Song, or even the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin may not be his match.
But such a strong man actually died here. A big bloody hole appeared in the upper part of his abdomen, and all the golden elixirs in his dantian had disappeared.
Li Yu found it hard to imagine who had the ability to kill Ma Yuan.
His death was very peaceful, which meant that he had not experienced any fierce fight before his death, which meant that the person who killed him was much stronger than him.
Of course, it is also possible that several people at the peak of the Jindan realm took advantage of Ma Yuan’s unpreparedness and attacked him at the same time.
But judging from the traces at the scene, this possibility is unlikely.
This made Li Yu immediately worry about the witch and Senior Sister Qin.
That person has the ability to easily kill Ma Yuan, and can also threaten the witch and Senior Sister Qin.
Li Yu immediately sent a soul message to the demon girl and asked, "What are you doing?"
The demon girl's response soon came to his mind: "Collecting herbs. There are so many spiritual herbs here that my storage space is almost full... Oh, I met Qin Keren. We found a place, but there is a formation blocking it outside. Do you want to come and take a look..."
The witch actually reunited with Senior Sister Qin, which made Li Yu feel relieved.
If the two of them join forces, no one below the Nascent Soul stage should be able to threaten them.
Li Yu asked: "Where are you? I'll come find you."
Although he and the demon girl have soul perception, they can only transmit sound or sense emotions, and cannot accurately locate each other.
In this vast secret cave realm shrouded in spiritual mist, unless you are teleported to one place at the beginning, meeting someone else depends on luck.
However, he had a map of Piaomiao Immortal Sect, and as long as the demon girl knew her location, Li Yu would be able to find her.
Outside a palace complex covered by a formation, Nangong Chan stood in front of a tall stone tablet and said to Li Yu, "It says Qingyun Palace here..."
Li Yu said: "Okay, I got it, don't wander around, just wait for me there, I'll be there in a moment."
He thought about it in his mind. Qingyun Palace was the place where disciples of Piaomiao Immortal Sect practiced and competed tens of thousands of years ago. It was located on a plain fifty miles northeast of his current location. As long as he knew their location, he would be able to meet up with them quickly.
On the way to meet up with Senior Sister Qin, the demon woman, Li Yu did not collect any more spiritual herbs.
Firstly, his space ring could no longer hold it.
Secondly, most of the spiritual medicines here will eventually fall into the hands of the righteous and evil forces. After all, they have the largest number of people, and these spiritual herbs and medicines will eventually return to their hands.
At a certain moment, Li Yu, who was flying slowly in the spiritual mist, suddenly stopped.
He sensed a strong sense of crisis from the depths of his soul.
But there was nothing unusual around him.
As if realizing something, a pair of purple lightning wings emerged from behind Li Yu, and his speed instantly increased to the extreme. Wherever he passed, a long vacuum zone formed in the dense spiritual mist...
